It appears that matplotlib is having trouble finding the freetype dynamic lib in your /usr/X11R6/lib folder when it references it. I'd check that folder to see if the dylib is there. If it isn't, reinstall the X11 dev tools. If it is, something is wrong with the dynamic lib opening, so I'd recommend removing matplotlib from your /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages folder and doing a fresh build/install.
